Run plugin from windows cmd

[JaapK]

Is it possible to launch a plugin with an argumentstring from the windows command line in headless mode?

I've tried something like:
ImageJ -batch "plugin name" "argumentstring"
But that doesn't seem to work.

Can anyone help?

You need to use something like

        ImageJ -eval "run('Plug In', 'arguments');" -batch

but I am not quite sure about quoting in Windows cmd (I find the quoting
rules in Windows cmd pretty confusing).

Hi Johannes,

Thanks a lot, that works perfectly!
You're right, windows quote rules are confusing, though in this case
it seems to work as intended.
